About Me

This blog is my blissful journal of happiness. It’s about everything I adore and people I love. Thanks for stopping by. If you would like to write me, please feel free to email me: diana.mieczan@hotmail.comHave a jolly good day!

Oh my world, if I lived in a house I would get one of those roof birdhouses in a heart beat! Isn't it awesome? Fun way to add something creative to your place. (and I bet the birds will love it too). xoxo

Cute girl and oh so chic (and French) shoes that look comfy, modern and would go great with shorts or a spring dress. A simple touch like leopard-print derbies can make such a difference to an outfit. Dears, would you try this look?

I have to admit, I'm a full-on snacker (dangerous, right?) and it's one of those habits I can't get rid of! Instead of fighting it, I swapped for a healthier option. Right now I'm loving homemade granola bars. They are made purely on honey (no eggs, no butter) and the best part is you can modify the recipe and change it up depending on your mood. Brilliant! Darlings, what's your weakness? Are you a snacker? xoxo

My sweets, what are you up to this weekend? Balazs and I are planning to finally catch up on a few Oscar nominated moves before Sunday. We still haven't seen the Black Swan and The King's Speech (have you?). I'm also looking forward to see what James Franco and Anne Hathaway have up their sleeves as hosts. What are you excited about: the fashion, the winners or the speeches? However you are spending the next two days, do me a favour and enjoy every minute of it, deal? As always here are a few great links from around the web.

Pssst...can you keep a secret? Next giveaway is from here! I'm so looking forward to it:)

Those shorts are super cute! Paired up with the jacket and the blouse make one adorable outfit. Don't you think?...
Such a pretty bow headband! (the model is adorable too)...
This mid-century cinnamon drop earrings would add a perfect pop of colour to any outfit...
Dreaming about this lavender milk bath brew. Perfect way to relax after a long, busy day (and a glass of wine)...DameJolie has a fantastic new selection of vintage pieces! This dress is perfect for spring walks and I'm thinking about getting this one too. Check out the whole new selection here...
A sweet pair of striped flats!...
A brilliant print from 20x200 to make you giggle...

Oh my goodness, I'm in love with this clever idea of arranging the bathroom cosmetics in a glass tray, on the back-of-the-toilet. A great small space solution. Don't you just love the extra touch with the framed photo and fresh flowers? xo

Doesn't she look great? It proves that you can be comfortable yet look adorable using a bit of colour to brighten your outfit (and your day). Ideal for a rainy weather! Who doesn't like a ray of sunshine once in a while? Loves, what do you say? xoxo

Is it just me, or chocolate and peanut caramel sounds like a perfect combination for a cold day like today? Lately I noticed that a pinch of salt makes all types of cakes and cookies even more delicious as it brings out the flavour. Are you craving one of those cups now? (The recipe looks mouthwatering). xo

According to Glamour Magazine this spring will be all about updo's. The modern version is sexy, slick and fresh! You can wear it down with a side part or up ballerina-style. It would be such an easy yet stylish look for spring bike rides and romantic walks in the park. Dears, would you try it? xoxo

Bravo! Ashley was so inspired by this ostrich chandelier that she decided to take matters in her own hands and created a more affordable version using this basic Ikea paper pendant lamp. Add some wax paper, shiny scotch tape and for a total of $12, you get this "Can't believe it's not ostrich chandelier"-beauty. Isn't it pretty? xoxo

It's official, I'm having a blog crush on Au coin de ma rue. The girl behind it photographs people that she finds unforgettable and that have a certain "je ne sais quoi". The twist is that she posts all the photos in a fun and unique way by separating them into head and toes part. She also has a new project (that I can't get enough of) where she posts a portrait of a person and a selection of items that they chose to "represent them at this moment of their life". So creative! Loves, what items would you choose? xoxo

I think it's fair to say by now that I'm obsessed with the dramatic beauty of Iceland. For some reason I find myself researching this amazing place over and over again. I can totally imagine myself spending a week in one of those little cites. A warm coat, good camera and hot wine, what else could I want, right? Also, on another note: New York, I Love You movie was really interesting. Each of the little stories was so captivating and now I can't wait to see Paris Je T'aime. Thanks for recommending it to me. xoxo

P.S: If you're not sure about visiting, this will do the trick:)
P.P.S: Morehere.

I think I speak for many of us when I say that storing bikes in apartments is a pain, right? Well, this morning Marie made my day by posting this video. The guy totally found a way. Awesome! Darlings, where do you store your bike? xoxo

On my goodness, how good do those pancakes look? I rarely eat them savory (I'm more of a sweet type), but I'm sold. For a whole list of impressive sweet and savory crêpe/pancake recipes check out the NY Times slideshow! Who said that pancakes can only be for breakfast, right? Darlings, what's your favourite type? Do share:) xoxo

Balazs and I love living in our downtown flat but I lately find myself daydreaming about having a little outside green space (besides our balcony) that we could use for summer dinner parties or evenings with a glass of wine. Not to mention that our dogs would totally love having a bit of a round-about too. This green little piece of heaven belongs to Lena and just looking at it makes me wanna grab a book, a blanket and spend the whole day sitting on that white chair! Dears, do you own a little yard or a garden? (if you don't, no worry, here are four ways to still enjoy dinner outside) Brilliant! xoxo

My darlings, what are you up to this weekend? As you know tonight we're off for a movie screening (after reading your notes, I'm even more excited about it!). If the weather allows, tomorrow we will try to spend the day outdoors with Buffer and Monty. We've been so busy that we didn't give them enough attention this week, so tomorrow will be about them :). As always here are a few great links from around the web. Enjoy!
